Everyone! I see a lot of thanks and best wishes to BrainSlayer over his great work, but I think it is time we all did something more.
Somewhere in the last topics Sebastian made it clear that he is still largely depending on our donations for making a living and he gave as an example that he still drives an old Golf II that is slowly falling apart.
I would want to make this a sticky fundraiser topic, meant to pull the whole donation issue out of obscurity and into the light, in a funny but nevertheless serious way.
I propose that we all state in this topic how much we have donated (also if you have donated in the past, before this) and I will then keep track of the total (also in the topic title). Target should be to get enough together to buy BS a new(er) VW Golf. That however is just for fun, of course BS can do with the money whatever suits him best.
Of course, I will start.
--------------------------------------
Using: 1 WRT54GL in semi-commercial (small firm, not earning money with it) setting running DD-WRT.
Donation: 10€.
--------------------------------------
Total now is: 1847€.
--------------------------------------
There are now various methods available to make a donation:
PS Brainslayer, the first try I made to get this one started again at the new forum failed, I now know that it is because this one does not that the € sign in a topic title very well...
Maybe you can solve that, anyways you can delete the failed post.

May have to do with your settings for (default) charset used by the forum. _________________ If you use DD-WRT, you HAVE to make a donation! See this topic too: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=228

I want to contribute to this effort but not sure about buying someone other than my wife a car.
That said, I want to make a donation in names of others rather than Cancan. So, I pledge 25 Euros in the name of BrainSlayer; if it were not for him, there would be no DD-WRT and 25 Euros in the name of Eko; if it were not for him there would be no Cancan using DD-WRT and therefore no 50 Euro donation.
Thanks to all who have contributed to my DD-WRT experience. I am off to paypal

Come on guy's, no competition !!!! who will be the first to take me down a notch or two ? _________________ Want JTAG support - Donate a router

I've pledged to myself to donate $5 for every access point I install for a client. I know, it's not much, but it's an easy sell and if everybody did so Brainslayer could afford a trebuchet for his Golf. I'm behind on my payments; I'll probably be caught up in a few weeks.
We all have a vested interested in DD-WRT not doing a Sveasoft. All that said, most small businesses take about 3 years to get to the point where you don't have trouble paying the bills. I've got another year to go myself but I think I'll make it.

This firmware is the best... I just got openvpn server working on router... thanks to great documentation. To think I started out with sveasoft firmware but looking for a crack for it and stumble on this DD-WRT. Never looked back and don't mind donating to this at all.
